  • 현재 우리나라는 레저선박 및 중소형 선박, 연안소형어선에 대부분 사용되는 재질은 강도가 높고 내양품성이 우수한 FRP를 사용하고 있다. 하지만 FRP선박의 폐선 시 환경문제와 자원재활용, 선체중량에 연비 및 대기오염등에 의해 소형선박 중심으로 알루미늄선 전환이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 선체가 적용된 멀티하우스보트에 알루미늄선 구조기준에 따른 슬래밍하중을 적용하여 구조 강도평가를 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 통해 각 부재별 민감도 평가를 수행하여 알루미늄 구조강도기준을 만족함과 동시에 중량 저감을 하여 실제 선박설계에 적용시키고자 한다.

  • Heavy-weight head slides may cause excessive inertia impact & moment on the machine tool structure when they move or stop abruptly during operation. Consequently these inertia impact and unbalanced moment bring transient vibrations and rough sliding motions on the machine structure. Machine tool engineers have tried many kind of feed-slide designs in order to solve this problem; for example, the design optimization of the moving structure for minimum weight and maximum stiffness, box-in-box type slide design, and so on. In this article, force and moment equilibrium equations regarding to the inertia force & moment were derived for each one of a mold M/C's head slides. Furthermore, five different design configurations of head slide assembly were reviewed for its design improvement regarding to force & moment calculations and finite element structural analysis results.

  • This study proposes a structural design method for the upper control arm installed at the rear side of a SUV. The weight of control arm can be reduced by applying the design. In this research, the former includes optimization technology, and the latter the technologies for selecting aluminum as a steel-substitute material. Strength assessment is the most important design criterion in the structural design of a control arm. At the proto design stage of a new control arm, FE (finite element) analysis is often utilized to predict its strength. In this study, the kriging interpolation method is adopted to obtain the minimum weight satisfying the strength constraint and durability criteria. The optimum results determined from the in-house program are compared with those of ANSYS WORKBENCH. The durability assessment is obtained by a index of fatigue durability and trial & error method, MSC. Fatigue program.

  • The overall noise reduction was compared in regard to the vibrational characteristics of floor impact noise in a multi story residential building which has several noise reduction treatments. The vibration through its structural elements such as wall, floor and ceiling and sound emitting were investigated for each insulation treatment. It was found that, in case of heavy-weight impact noise, the vibration energy is emitted mostly from ceiling, but for the light-weight impact noise, most of the energy comes through ceiling and walls. That is, the vibration of a ceiling is the main factor that determines the frequency characteristics of the transmitting noise to lower floors.

  • The size and topology of geometrically nonlinear dome structures are optimized thereby minimizing both its entire weight & joint (node) displacements and maximizing load-carrying capacity. Design constraints are implemented from provisions of American Petroleum Institute specification (API RP2A-LRFD). In accordance with the proposed design constraints, the member responses computed by use of arc-length technique as a nonlinear structural analysis method are checked at each load increment. Thus, a penalization process utilized for inclusion of unfeasible designations to genetic search is correspondingly neglected. In order to solve this complex design optimization problem with multiple objective functions, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) approach is employed as a multi-objective optimization tool. Furthermore, the flexibility of proposed optimization is enhanced thereby integrating an automatic dome generating tool. Thus, it is possible to generate three distinct sphere-shaped dome configurations with varying topologies. It is demonstrated that the inclusion of brace (diagonal) members into the geometrical configuration of dome structure provides a weight-saving dome designation with higher load-carrying capacity. The proposed optimization approach is recommended for the design optimization of geometrically nonlinear dome structures.

  • The requirement to safe and economical buildings caused to the exploitation of nonlinear capacity structures and optimization of them. This requirement leads to forming seismic design method based on performance. In this study, concentrically braced frames (CBFs) have been optimized at the immediate occupancy (IO) and collapse prevention (CP) levels. Minimizing structural weight is taken as objective function subjected to performance constraints on inter-story drift ratios at various performance levels. In order to evaluate the seismic capacity of the CBFs, pushover analysis is conducted, and the process of optimization has been done by using Bee Algorithm. Results indicate that performance based design caused to have minimum structural weight and due to increase capacity of CBFs.

  • The objective of this study is development of high strength lightweight concrete and application or structural use. For this, mix proportions for each strength level were selected from lab tests, and adapted to producing ready-mixed concrete in batcher plant. It was very important to prewet the lightweight aggregates sufficiently for producibility and also workability. Splitting tensile strength of high-strength lightweight concrete produced has lower values than that of normal weight concrete, but modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity are not less than normal weight concrete. The strength reduction factor ($\lambda$) for sand-lightweight concrete make higher than 0.85 present in structures using high-strength lightweight concrete. And it was showed that not parabola distribution but triangular distribution of stress in compression zone.

  • The outer tie rod that is a part of steering system connects the steering gear to the steering knuckle via the inner tie rod. The formal study suggested the optimized structural design of an outer tie rod installed in a passenger car. Its weight is 284.7g, which is 57.2% lighter weight than initial steel model. This study validates the optimized design of the outer tie rod considering buckling and durability. The assembled unit of an inner tie rod and outer tie rod is utilized to perform the test of the bending strength of the outer tie rod. On the contrary, 1/2 car is utilized to perform the test of its durability performance.

  • The recent large-spatial structures are frequently made from light-weight structural system and it has a good mechanical efficiency and uses new materials. The large space is made by light-weight structural system using tension members mainly, and generally it is called a soft structure. The cable dome structures which are a soft structures are very flexible, the stresses and nodal coordinates of other members are changed when we control the stress of one member. Therefore, we have to do two kind of works for effective and accurate construction of the cable dome structures. The first work is making a working scenario to complete the final objective form and the second is revising constructional errors occurred in process of the actual works. These works are called constructional analysis. At this time, we have to consider geometric nonlinearity to reflect the sensitivity by the initial stresses of cable dome structures, and constructional analysis comes down to a nonlinear problem after all. In this study, we try to approach the constructional analysis of the cable dome structures using the numerical method, and then verify it.
